Rescuing Chibok Girls, defeating Boko Haram are priorities, Buhari tells UNGA

President Buhari addressing the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, on Tuesday
President Muhammadu Buhari has told the United Nations General Assembly in New York that his immediate priority as Nigerian president is to see to the eradication of Boko Haram ravaging the northeastern part of Nigeria and rescuing the Chibok Girls are his immediate priorities, even as he works to enhance investors confidence in the countrys economy.
He emphasised that while Boko Haram celebrates violence against the weak and the innocent, they, however, hide behind their perverted interpretation of Islam, saying that Boko Haram is as far away from Islam as anyone can think of.
Many of my colleagues attending this forum would want to know how our new government intends to tackle the huge problems the government has inherited.
Friends of Nigeria and foreign investor partners will be to know that the new Government is attacking the problems we inherited head-on.
